Death Penalty

[CreamofSumYungGai]

No I’m not missing your point, I’m choosing not to get involved in some spurious discussion that is intended to simply dig at the medical profession for reasons known only to you. I guess you have some personal axe to grind.

I prefer to differentiate between legally prescribed, well tested and manufactured drugs prescribed by professional people for medical reasons, despite all drugs having potential side effects and scumbag dealers peddling sh*t product for personal profit irrespective of the carnage it creates.

You still don’t get it do you

at least you got your username correct I’ll give you that one

Grow up age7

ZING!

[CreamofSumYungGai]

I think you’re right. Perhaps after a smack on the wrist and a warning they should be given the chance to mend their ways. Those that do, great, we can forgive them for countless ruined lives. Should they repeat offend, then lock them away for a long time. Decent compromise.

They need compassion and a helping hand not to be beaten with a societal stick.

Exactly what I’ve said twice. Just for you I’ll say it three times. Addicts need help and compassion. The dealers are the ones Who need sorting, the peddlers of death for money. But, give them a chance to change, if they don’t then treat them the same way they treat the addicts, with contempt plus a long prison sentence. Dealers are scum profiting from the suffering of others. The addicts are the victims.

This doesn’t really fit with your world views - people are responsible for their own choices/ should take personal responsibility for their decisions etc.

You are a funny one.

It's almost as if he's wildly contradictory.

I've not read any of this thread but already am certain that the comment ^ refers to Maffy.

I read about Sri Lanka hiring new hangmen. They had plenty of applicants, but who would apply for a job like that apart, and how do you go about training them?

Well its only pulling a lever at the end of the day
Not alot of brain power needed for it.

In fact the less you have the easier to do .

No moral self questioning etc.

A friend of mine's grandfather was briefly an executioner's assistant in the late 1940's. Convinced him that the death penalty solved nothing.

Oh and the job involves much more than pulling a lever - most of it extraordinarily unpleasant.

Would assume there's an element of cleaning up afterwards?

I was in a box at the Royal Opera House with a friend of mine, when he mentioned that his grandfather, who went to an excellent grammar school, was briefly an executioner's assistant in the late 1940's.

Don't go all Thorry on us FFS.

Fixed that.

[Thor]

Now now dont go getting all jealous and envious, you know it's a sin right?

[Proposition Joe]

I'm an atheist, so not that fussed.

[Thor]

Why don't that surprise me? There's still time for the lord to save you, open yourself up to him you won't be disappointed and he will guide and protect you.

[Proposition Joe]

Alias taking an odd turn.

Yes. I'm reliably informed that getting the condemned from cell to noose could also be problematic.

Henley Regatta if you're going to insist on the full story.

Were they not convinced that the cost of their incarceration was too great a burden on the public purse and therefore they should go willingly?

I believe Pierrepoint was continually using this argument as he cajoled the usually staggering and sh*t scared condemned into standing still on a trap door. I'm sure this was a warming last thought as they plunged into oblivion.

How about ending a serious topic on a lighter note.

Hearing johnny cash play 25 minutes to go means i woukd have shot myself 5 minutes before it started .

Johnny Cash will never be a lighter note.

[Forty-Niner]

We wouldn't want you to shoot yourself tuffers. That would be a fate worse than death.

[Real Al]

There'll be calls for it here, straight after Brexit.

Don't be stupid .

Hmm

At a time when the country is heading for bankruptcy, we've now got to spend likely millions (over 52 years of his term) of taxpayers' money keeping this loon alive and in enforced boredom/punishment..

This doesn't strike me as good value for money.

"It's for rehabilitation", the bed-wetters will cry.

There's no rehabilitation for the victims, so why does the killer get the opportunity. Those millions could be put to better use imo.

[Max B Gold]

I doubt in this case even the bed wetters think there is any chance of rehabilitation.

Can you show your workings for the millions that could be put to better use. How many millions is it?

[Orient_Man_And_Boy]

As per Assisted Deaths the rules and governance would be a nightmare, but, yes, the death penalty can be justified in some circumstances.

I expect he will be kept separate for a while but he can't hide forever surely?
